But This Was Such An Important Life-Changer With Certain Death And Torture On The Line Every Day-Waking Up Every Morning For Days And Years Without Their Families Close By Constant Battles Going On And Amazing Destruction. It Was For Us They Fought So We Should Know Their Stories.In This Stirring Collection Of First-Person Narratives By Wwii Veterans Charley Valera Opens Readers Eyes To The Story Of How Young Ordinary People From Modest Backgrounds Became Incredible Soldiers Fighting A Nasty Close Battle That Ranged From Dropping Bombs On Barely Visible Targets To Hand-To-Hand Combat-Even Fistfights.
